Hardbound boards are orange with red letters on spine. The dust jacket carries price of $15.00 on the upper front flap and "0273" on the lower front flap. Back of dust jacket has SBN 670-34832-5 in white. Hardbound copies are preferable to paperbound copies.

The book club edition looks similar to the first hardbound edition, but it lacks a price on the dust jacket, and there is a blind stamp on the back board near the spine.
